Showing Original Post only (View all)Democratic Underground: Participation by age and gender. [View all]
I know that most of the regular posters here are older folks. Im curious how many younger people stop by and read DU for news and information. A recent post suggested that among younger Americans women were becoming more liberal while men were becoming more conservative. I wonder if thats reflected by DUs readership.

I know space was limited but in a separate poll, I am fucking curious to how the numbers would play out, as well.

If the poll is accurate, this place is practically devoid of anyone under 50.

I started reading DU on 9/11. I signed up and started posting in December or January.

I can remember posts about DU meet-ups, either group or individuals & couples. I haven't seen any of those in a while.

I know most of us are over 50. I'm here almost every day. I read the posts. I think I have a pretty good sense...

Probably should be an internal survey, but nothing public that oppositions firms could leverage.
